Copycats sell, original stuff is risky. Where would you invest your time? We’re also talking about stock items, which need to please as much people as possible. Though some authors have their own style even even if they share the same wireframe. I’ve seen hidden gems which deserve some more exposure as also ugly ripoffs which shouldn’t even been approved.

Actually, as a designer, I do chose the hard way. Sometimes it works, even more times you get the door slammed right in your face

How many colors exist to paint your home walls? Unlimited… but in the end everybody is using those 4/5 colors.
Same is for wp themes. We all like new and different things, but when you have to sell a theme to your clients they will ask you something that looks familiar, like a white wall.

I agree with this that very bad design, very simple. ununique simply approved but another theme reject for this reason, each flower has own scent.

we can see themes in 10 top theme, simple, bad design…. but now they are in top because people like these. we can not tell to people what must to like or buy, different people have different taste and uniqueness in 0-100 must not standard of approval.

the standard must be only in technical Issues not aesthetic and coloring. african people loves thing that may be asian east people did not like it. and this is a reason that why some themes However are very simple, wrong design, ununique but have good sale.

I wrote this because I create 1 theme 8-9 month ago with complete admin panel http://themes.massoudjoveini.com/unique/ and until now I changed 3 time overall design and +6 time for improve but after 10 times this theme can not put in the site and every time time is a new excuse. (current minimum technical quality requirements, similar theme, aesthetic …).

it is not very pro or very unique…. but in compare with themes that any day are being accepted is not worse.

I really did not know, what I must do. when I see the accepted theme in site, really can not find the reason of theme rejecting. I did not understand reviewers purpose. I spend my real time, no free time for this to obtain money but after 8-9 month I have no anything.

also I capture image from home page of one theme that is now in top 10 and add 2-3 month ago, and in it point to some wrong, when they reject my theme for many time, but only response to me was this “Unfortunately, we are unable to compare/contrast items that have already been accepted. Also, all of our reviews are final and cannot be appealed”.

really now I did not know rejecting my theme is fair, just, impartial or not?

Design unique stuffs, you get satisfaction and good sales if you are lucky. Design common stuffs, you get some sales and never a satisfaction. Love to go with the first coz after all, its a great feeling when you look at your own portfolio of goodness!

When each theme -> viewers comment “great work buddy, one of its own kind”, we get pleasure

7 months ago when we submitted our first theme here, it got rejected after 9 rounds of reviews and now when we look back to that theme we feel how worse it was and how much better we learned. Come’on, each review comments keeps us improve 10 times better than we do as our own. We do feel it and now we are happy to have a shiny Black Paw within 2.5 months here credit goes to reviewers. If you try your level best you have no boundaries good luck.
